John Cappelletti, Penn State’s lone Heisman Trophy winner, is leading as the final month of voting begins in the Big Ten Icons Bobblethon.

Yes, you can vote for your favorite bobblehead in a poll being done by the Big Ten Network.

Every school has a bobblehead in the field, with Cappelletti representing Penn State. A running back, Cappelletti won the Heisman in 1973 when Penn State went 12-0. That's Cappy pictured here, with Joe Paterno, on the day after the Heisman Trophy ceremony in December 1973.

You can vote once a day through July 31 by clicking here. The vote began in March, with the winning icon delivering $10,000 for that school’s alumni association scholarship fund.

Charles Woodson of hated Michigan, I might add, is a narrow second in the voting.

The poll is being held in part to promote a Big Ten Network series beginning this fall in which the Big Ten conference’s greatest athletes will be profiled in a 20-episode series. The name of the series, which begins Sept. 18, is Big Ten Icons.

If he wins, can he wear that awesome sweater vest get up to the ceremony?

If my old memory serves me correctly, the only reason Woodson won his Heisman is because ESPN championed his cause... The 4-letter network wanted a "primarily defensive player" (Woodson played a little wide receiver) to finally win a Heisman.

The runner-up that year (who clearly should have won the Heisman) was some guy named Peyton Manning. Somehow, Manning survived the oversight to have a "respectable" NFL career.

Come on PSU fans, let's not let Woodson win another close contest... Cappy should win it... if for no other reason than the tremendous love he showed for Joey in his Heisman speech.
